Should I spray him?

Hi! My chameleon is shedding its skin, its around 1 month old and I am new to chameleons. It is a veiled. Is their anything I can do to help it?

Well, my veiled has been pretty restless lately. He is only a baby and he has just been staying in the same place throughout the day and he is keeps going into a brown colour then back to green, is this normal? Your Chameleon - It is a Veiled Chameleon, been caring for him for 2 weeks and is...

Sorry for double post but can someone help me out?

How long can a veiled chameleon survive with no food and heat under 70 degrees?

I meant to use the word branches, and has many to climb on to. Thanks for your concern though. :)

The jungle mixture gives the tank a more jungle feeling for the chameleon, and when it does come down to eat- they'd be walking the same thing that is in the jungle. I just think that chameleons should have the closest thing to the natural habitat as possible as they have been taken from it.

Yes, when I purchased my veiled chameleon from the pet store they had lots of baby veiled all hanging. But, they just like to explore and relax. Remember, they are in a small cage and sometimes have nothing else to do. I must say though, I posted in your other 'new cage' thread- you need to...

I am a new owner of a one month old, baby veiled chameleon! I love him to bits even though I've only had him a week, they're amazing animals/pets! I was wondering, how much he should be handled? I do not want to stress him out so I am going to try not to handle him too often. As you're all...

You should have some kind of jungle mixture at the bottom instead of newspaper, and maybe instead of plant pots- get some logs, cut them and locate them all over the tank then add some fake plants around it which you can wrap around the logs. You have do a fantastic job on the cage though!

What? :s - Need as much help as possible please! <3

You too! Love your chameleon picture.

He looks around 2 months, in my opinion. He looks like a healthy chameleon seeing as he has a nice green colour to him.

Give him/her as much as it can eat. Make sure the food is visable for the chameleon to see! Chameleons are not greedy creatures, they only eat when they're hungry so it just won't eat when its unhungry. As long as its eating, you're fine but I would try and make it eat over 5 of the food you are...

I'd say at least 5 or more crickets, if he eats all them- add a few more in. Hope this helps! :)
